“I highly recommend Jenna. She stayed at our home for six days and took care of our dog and cat. each day she sent us pictures and communication, She was very professional. When we got home our house was spotless, our animals were happy and we had a lovely handwritten note with some picture stickers from her of our dog and cat❤️ We will definitely hire her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much She genuinely care about animals. She took the time to learn our dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made it easy to relax knowing our dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious our dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When we returned, everything was just as we left it, and our dog was calm, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone we trust completely with our pet. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter—and we will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I am genuinely so grateful for Kaitlyn. If you (fellow pet parents) ever find yourself needing last minute pet care and struggle with the idea of having to trust someone to care for your fur babies, I hope you see this review and know that Kaitlyn will be there for you. I had only a couple hours to find pet care for my babies and really struggled with the idea of booking without a meet and greet and the ability to explain everything in fine detail (probably too much detail but hey). But Kaitlyn was incredible, she was super self sufficient and it’s very clear she is well experienced. She even sat with my boy so he would eat after realizing he was feeling nervous about eating. 12/10 recommend”
“Vivian was great! Super transparent, scheduled a meet & greet, is very organized and really good with communication. Skye is a moody Shih Tzu and Vivian was super calm with him and got along really well.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our kitties and fish. She was asked great questions, was careful and thorough with the feeding and cleaning, and communicated with us throughout her stay at our home. Our kitties were happy and relaxed when we came come, and Samantha left our home tidy and clean. Thank you for doing such a nice job, Samantha!”
“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Ozzy! From the moment we connected, she was kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my puppy in her care, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. Ozzy had a great time with her, and I could tell he was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Mackenzie was thoughtful, patient, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure both Ozzy and I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Five stars all around!”
“Nadine has been great! We needed her when our daughter was having a baby so our schedule was very fluid. Nadine was very flexible and helped on a moments notice. I will definitely use her again!”
“Nita watched my dog/housesat for over two weeks, while I was on vacation with my family. She did a great job. She provided me with daily updates and pictures and was great at communicating with me regarding any issues, concerns, and overall updates. My house was in perfect order when I returned as well. Thank you for an amazing job! I would definitely rebook with Nita.”
“Candace is a great communicator & took great care of our dog and our home! We really appreciate how punctual she is and her attention to details with our dogs meds. Thank you Candace!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for my entire life. I also spent about a year volunteering at a veterinary clinic when I was in high school. I work full time, but have time in the early mornings around 6am-6:30am as well as 4:30pm or later during the week. On the weekends I have very much open availability. I care for pets with a lot of love and patience. I am willing to do any necessary actions required by the owner to ensure their pet is safe and cared for.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing with Bailey! She took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Bailey was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up in a dog loving family, from having as many as 5 dogs to being a single dog fam for a while. Always been a sucker for big dogs as i've owned alaskan malamutes, bernese mountain dogs and currently have a newfoundland. i also have had breeds like corgis and pom pom mixes and currently have a pitbull bull terrier mix & a shepsky as well! i’ve cared for neighbors smaller breeds while they’re out of town taking them on walks, feeding and just hanging out with them for periods of time. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies 😁🩵 My day job is super flexible so everyday looks a little different for me. The longest i’d be gone at any point in time would be 3-4 hours with a heads up as I care for my dogs as well! 😁 If thats an issue please reach out to me and we can figure something out that works best for everyone! always make sure doors and gates are closed/ secured when they’re supposed to be, i’m a very attentive and detail oriented person so I like making sure everything is as it’s supposed to be! The more instructions the better I can tailor my visit to your pets!!!!
“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Stephanie. She took great care of our pup Louie while we were traveling abroad for two weeks. Given Louie’s anxious and nervous temperament, we were looking for someone who was calm, loving, and patient — Stephanie was just that and more. Louie was immediately at ease with her and it was clear that he received plenty of love and attention in our absence. We received daily updates and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing Louie was in good hands. We’re so happy we found Stephanie and would work with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amyra and James were absolutely incredible! It's so reassuring to know that your pups are in such good hands while you are away. The fact that they stayed longer to accommodate our delay really shows their dedication and passion for what they do; they went above and beyond. We got regular updates and pictures and we came home to happy pups. They were on point and very attentive of our babies' needs. I highly recommend them!”

This is the second time we used Jenna to watch our dog and cat in our home. she is wonderful. We got daily pictures and communication. My dog was very excited to see her! She also keeps our place very neat and clean. Such a great feeling to not have to worry about our babies while we’re gone. Totally recommend her!!
We had an amazing experience! She communicated with us throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog, making sure he got all of his medications three times a day, and it was clear he was well loved and cared for. She also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond by washing and drying the towels and sheets before we got home, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I would absolutely book her again for dog and house sitting in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring!
Mayumi and Zackary were as delightful as they were attentive to caring for our thirteen year old blind & deaf dog, Honey - I immediately felt the professionalism and attention to detail during the meet and greet. Communication was seamless and extra sweet photos of Honey much appreciated!! Will definitely book again! Cheers!
Alexa was amazing! First time using this service and impressed is an understatement! Alexa was very professional, communicative and showed our dogs lots of love and attention. She checked in several times throughout the day by sending pictures, videos, and updates. Would highly recommend Alexa and will definitely be rebooking with her.
Emma did really well with our pups. This was our first booking with her and things went very smoothly. Communication was great, and the puppy pictures were much appreciated. She was also very accommodating with schedule on short notice. We will happily rebook her for any future dog-sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntington Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Huntington Beach on Rover is $60 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,719 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntington Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntington Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Huntington Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntington Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
